Hi. I am trying to set up a webserver on my pi using lighttdp and it appeared to be working. But after a reboot, I have found that changes I made to resolv.conf are wiped out, even when entered as su. I am running the Feb 13 version of Raspian.

I would think about changing file permissions, but if I can't make changes as su, is there something else going on? Like a group that su needs to be part of?

thanks

You edited via sudo? As in

Code: Select all

sudo vi /etc/resolv.conf

If not, you would normally see a message to the effect you can not write the file.
Re-edit and print the result to verify your changes are in place.

resolv.conf will be clobbered by dhclient. If you are using DHCP then tell your DHCP server (router) what resolvers you want it to give out.

look in /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d

there should be a file called base that might get added to the resolv.conf file on reboot

throw in a line like:
nameserver 8.8.4.4
